I wanted to compare my solve to more efficient ones. I hope the ones in this thread's are almost FMC tries or I'm screwed.

r2 U2 r R U' R' U R' U r M' U' R' (13) is the best SB I could find, but I had to do some search. But yours is pretty good too.
Nice LSE!

How do you remember all the moves that you've made?

You don't have to remember all of the moves. You only have to recall the FB, how did you make it, from what pairs, what colors. The rest is pretty straightforward: for the same case propably would do the same series of movements. Actually, I just have to reconstruct the FB (with its pairings) and the 1x2x2 part of the SB - from then, there is almost no choice for me how to finish the cube.

Thanks.

What is your advice for a beginner, who takes about 20 moves per block or more, to learn better moves?

Some positions are hard to see anything better, even with taking much more time. Should I maybe start a thread about this?

There is aready a thread about helping others with Roux. It is the Roux Help and Discussion Thread. For block building, see examples. Lots and lots of examples. And take a look on this. Although it's for Petrus, many of the tricks and advices works on Roux as well.

Here's my solve of just the first block. Feel free to offer comments & suggestions.

D' U' [M R'] B' [M' R] B' F2 {M' R} U2 [M2 R2] F' ... 15 STM

I thought the bracket moves would be r or r', but cube notation in the Wiki calls those cube rotations.

You know (or read) it wrong, r, r', and r2 are not cube rotations. Use r and r' (or Rw and Rw') instead of {M' R} and {M R'} during notations. And honestly, I am confused by your bracets. What is the difference between [M' R] and {M' R}?

Please use alg.cubing.net, because your solution does not seems to work. See here: D' U' M R' B' M' R B' F2 M' R U2 M2 R2 F'

53 STM. The FB was pretty hard with my colors, and the CMLL+LSE was looong.
